+\section{Higher-dimensional Deligne conjecture}
+\label{sec:deligne}
+In this section we discuss Property \ref{property:deligne},
+\begin{prop}[Higher dimensional Deligne conjecture]
+The singular chains of the $n$-dimensional fat graph operad act on blob cochains.
+\end{prop}
+
+The $n$-dimensional fat graph operad can be thought of as a sequence of general surgeries
+of $n$-manifolds
+$R_i \cup A_i \leadsto R_i \cup B_i$ together with mapping cylinders of diffeomorphisms
+$f_i: R_i\cup B_i \to R_{i+1}\cup A_{i+1}$.
+(Note that the suboperad where $A_i$, $B_i$ and $R_i\cup A_i$ are all diffeomorphic to 
+the $n$-ball is equivalent to the little $n{+}1$-disks operad.)
+
+If $A$ and $B$ are $n$-manifolds sharing the same boundary, we define
+the blob cochains $\bc^*(A, B)$ (analogous to Hochschild cohomology) to be
+$A_\infty$ maps from $\bc_*(A)$ to $\bc_*(B)$, where we think of both
+collections of complexes as modules over the $A_\infty$ category associated to $\bd A = \bd B$.
+The ``holes" in the above 
+$n$-dimensional fat graph operad are labeled by $\bc^*(A_i, B_i)$.
